Excerpt from Arthur Atkins: Extracts From the Letters With Notes on Painting and Landscape; Written During the Period of His Work as a Painter in the Last Two Years of His Life; 1896 1898
For the friends of Arthur Atkins, these extracts from his letters, from the notes writ ten upon the margins of his sketches, will have a real and touching value. They will recall for them, his talk, his interests, the lovely charm of the serious and noble friend they knew. For those to whom he was unknown, the pages may reveal something of the sensi tive mind and heart of the artist: his response to the beauty and dignity of the visible world.
The publication rests upon the desire of his associates, to supplement the pictures with whatever remains as a record of his gifts obscured as these gifts were, by the circum stances of life, by the last sad circumstance of death in early manhood.
